Look, if he's planning on a~250 WHP car, the head is not the most restrictive portion of the engine. Hence you will see little gains from portingthe head. spend about 20 hours gasket matchinga head and then get 2hp on a dyno... tell me it's worth it. if you're not utilizing 100% of the head's flow, increasing that potential to 110% makes no differance.
The flip side is if you're building a 500hp motor,if you gain10% in flow through the port job it equates to a significant gain on a large power build...
If i'm hearing cincy right, he's not saying it does nothing, he's saying there are no potential gains when the flow of the head is not the bottleneck. I agree with that statement.

LMAO....Cincy, that's funny that you avoid my eduction question and try toturn it around. I took the time to google your fourm name and it looks like you spend a LOT of time on fourms. It makes me start to wonder if your eduction is a "fourm education". That is kinda funny to me..... I'm not saying that you always give BS information but sometimes I wonder about your insights.

I cant figure out whats more sad, you googling me, or you still trying to ? my car knowledge. Trust me, i dont talk out of my *** like you do over and over again. I have more than done my share to a few 1.8t's and other cars, more than i guess you find in your google search. I remember you saying you are in school to be a mech, i hope you can get a refund since you are so far in over your head when you post. Just because you knowthe termport and polish doesnt mean its the best or needed for every application. Me and 3 other people have already told you why but yet you STILL question me and practically stalk me. Im not sure if i should be flattered or scared.

And if you want some more info on my "knowledge", i have custom built and tuned a turbo kit for my lancer before my TT. I have also built my 1.8t into a 2.0 and have tuned it myself with no aid of a chip to the numbers in my sig. So basically you can get off my nuts now since you think i have to show you where my education came from.

i am "forum educated" and do most if not all the work on my car myself and haven't had many snags in what i do or did
there is this old saying: God gave you one mouth and two ears/eyes, to listen/read twice as much
start reading or listening and quit barfing nonsense on the forums or you might end up like travis kemp
